Well I took my kids to Dollywood.... Couldn't ride a ride.... I did get on the river rampage.... With a lap belt extender.... I wanted to die right then and there when they handed it to me....I can't believe I've gotten this bad....

I had the same thing happen last year. Took my family to a amusement park and all I could do all day was watch them have fun. It hurt so badly because I'm usually the first one in line for roller coasters. I'm tired of being this way and I'm determined to change it.

Yeah it really stinks when you get b!tch slapped up side the head like that. But that's why we're all here. We all have that "no more!" moment when we make the decision to DO something about it. My moment was when I had to buy 3X shirts. I had fooled myself that I really wasn't THAT big but my clothing tags told me otherwise. Best wishes to you on your journey.

I almost ruined the trip because I was so cranky. And it wasn't because the place wasn't fun!!! It was because I couldn't enjoy a single thing there. ????

I had my huge slap of reality in April. For the first time I had to ask for a seatbelt extender on a flight. I was traveling alone and was absolutely mortified. Luckily my WLS was already in the works and I had it done July 1. Next time to visit my husband on his deployment I want to use a regular seatbelt and make his jaw drop when he sees me!

I went through the exact same thing! I had convinced myself that I wasn't THAT big. I started realizing how bad it had gotten when I started having to buy 2 and 3X clothing. The worst moment was when I saw myself (or rather didn't at first) in a group picture. I was looking where I should have been in the picture and was so confused that I didn't see myself and then it dawned on me, I was the big fat girl on the end! How did I not even recognize myself?! Horrible moment. My last straw was when I went on a cruise and on top of just barely fitting in the seat on the plane, I was mortified when I went zip lining and they had to give me an extra harness to hold my weight. Point made!! Lol

Getting the pictures from getting my tubes tided & seeing the visceral fat around my ovaries. I knew that if it was around these organs it had to be around other organs & that scared me. You can almost ignore how "fat" you are but that I couldn't ignore.

Oh I could have written this post, same exact story, flying alone on one of the European budget flight with really small seats and the seatbelt didn't click coz I was so fat. I needed an extender, thank God the steward was very nice and discreet. Luckily I was already in the process of getting my bypass, but I was still horrified.

I am flying again in October and I am looking forward of clicking that sucker!!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
